About
Balmoral Court Care Home is a 99-bed home in Newcastle upon Tyne, operated by Crown Care. It supports adults over 18 with mental health diagnoses, behaviours that may challenge, physical disabilities, or who are undergoing drug and alcohol rehabilitation. The home has male-only, female-only and mixed areas, and works with local community teams on each resident's care package.
Staff are trained in dementia care, mental health and distraction techniques, and personalised care packages are designed for each resident. Residents are encouraged to keep their independence and daily living skills, with allotments within walking distance for outdoor activity. Pet therapy is part of care, with regular animal visits and an in-house cat, hens and guinea pigs. The Care Quality Commission rated the home Requires Improvement overall in its 2025 report, with Inadequate for well-led.
